Wrong fourm section. This is the tech area.

And yes, they still do drop on occasion from the Ice Imps up in Mineral Springs. Drop rate has been significantly decreased since their introduction.

Yeah.. wrong forum.

They drop occasionally, and to my knowledge ONLY at the lyssa cave at mineral springs. All the other imps don't drop it, such as the icy imps outside of marhan's grotto.

PLEASE read the entire thread because kvndoom tweaks his build through out and has a final build a little over 3/4 of the way through but it`s filled with usefull info. It can be soloed quit easily.

I personally like to use my W/Mo more than W/Me for this run. I tried W/Me out but my hp was always lower than my W/Mo, and I had a much greater chance of dying during the run to the cave. IMO both W/Me and W/Mo are just as good to farm there because I, as a W/Mo, have outlasted many of the W/Me I've partied with. Just how W/Me are "suppose" to take 0 dmg, I too take 0 dmg as a W/Mo. I've even changed some of the W/Me's perspectives upon a W/Mo soloing the place.

The run thre with a W/Me is easy, just haev to have the right spawn befor Mineral springs and you got it. I dont see how a W/Mo will take 0 dmg from imps/golems attacks. I gues you would use Dolyak, Watch yourself, and a stance, since you dont have Ele resist. With a good sheild. Monk spells... if you dont use Charge for the run, maybe Healing Hands, SOJ will work nices for the million imps attacking you. Possible Retribution, tho, it doesnt do much dmg, but if you have alot of defence, just stand there and after a few mins they will all die. Just my idea of a W/mo build.

We often go farming the mineral springs area as a guild... because there are plenty of skills to cap, and obviously IDS farming! We seem to have been lucky in the past three trips there: we have had two IDS drops, one was 15>50 (mine ) the other was still max and pretty good if i remember rightly.
